Visualization of a spherical harmonic function of degree five, order two which can be used for the direct solution of differential equations.

These pages summarize the concepts, software, and libraries we have developed, especially the generic scientific simulation environment (GSSE). The GSSE builds the base for other libraries and for applications in the field of scientific computing.

Up to now there had been no comprehensive approach, due to the complex requirements arising from various discretization methods for partial differential equations, assembly of large equation systems, finite numerical treatment, and the requirements of overall high performance. Reusability and orthogonality of these libraries are of utmost importance. Following the shift to library-centric application design and active libraries, which has shown significant advances since the advent of the C++ STL, the effort of application development in scientific computing can be considerably reduced. Here we present concepts we have developed, along with examples and license issues, and give a short introduction to each project.

The following groups have been involved: Institue for Microelectronics in Vienna, Austria, the Center for Computation & Technology in Baton Rouge, Louisiana, and the University of Innsbruck in Innsbruck, Austria.
